Chapter 360

Because there is no word on the envelope, Song Yixiao received in the hand thought it was Lu’s writing, who knew that after opening and read the inscription, only to realize that it was Song Yuan’s handwriting.

Or rather, the Song Edge Jedi.

After confirming the inscription and date, Song Yixiao subconsciously trembled slightly in her hand as she pinched the thin letterhead, and settled her nerves before continuing to read-

The letter was not long and ended in a few lines.

So she quickly read it, and between her eyebrows, a flash of disappointment and some relief passed over her.

Mainly because, in this letter from Song Yuan, not a single word was mentioned about the boat capsizing or the valley or anything like that during the summer vacation last year.

He was just apologizing to his daughter.

The indifference, scheming, harshness, alienation, and favoritism … towards Song Yixiao over the years were confessed with great sincerity and earnestness, and the daughter s forgiveness was prayed for.

The reason why he did not say it in person, Song Yuan said in the letter, he is not unable to pull this face, is afraid of being rejected.

After all, he knew how cruel and unqualified he was as a father to his eldest daughter.

And Song Yixiao now, doesn’t need him so much anymore – granted, when Xie Yiren and the others heard about the Song family’s father-daughter reconciliation, they were all happy for Song Yixiao, believing that it’s always good for Song Yixiao to be able to have her mother’s family as a source of support.

The problem is, Song Yixiao is still in love with her husband, she is so young, how can she not continue to have children? After having a son as a backer, even if in the future the person is old and weak and Jane Xubai changes his heart, but as long as Jane Xubai still recognizes the world’s default rules, she as the wife, her son as the first son, Yan Guo Gongfu, after all, is still her and her child.

Even though the Song family’s ancestral splendor had left behind wealth that the Yan Guo Gongfu couldn’t match – but relative to Song Yixiao’s current scenario, these were nothing more than icing on the cake!

The father-daughter divide between her and Song Yuan, could it not be dissolved by this level of show of goodwill?

Therefore, Song Yuan hesitated for a long time, and finally did not gather the courage to tell these words to his daughter face to face, but chose to fall on paper and send someone over privately.

At the end of the letter, it was stated that he had divided the ancestral property into six shares, with Song Yixiao and Song Yiyao each receiving two shares, and Song Yibao and Song Yijiao each receiving one share. Song Yiyao got a double share because he was the only male heir in the Song family, while Song Yixiao was treated the same as her younger brother because of Song Yuan’s compensation.

Song Yuan repeatedly pleads with his daughter to accept it so that he won’t have a bad conscience for the rest of his life.

Song Yixiao pinched the letterhead and was silent: ever since Jinxian returned from Cuihua Mountain, she had been in a state of bewilderment.

It was expected that the letter would contain some clue that would reveal the truth – not so.

Except that if the truth were really that brutal, not having a clue would actually be a good thing.

She put the letterhead on the case, took off a bracelet to hold it down, and gently asked her sister, who was busily putting down the red bean cake, “I wonder what words Mother asked you to bring me?”

“Mother said that this letter was found some days ago when she sent someone to Cui Hua Mountain, to pack up father’s belongings.” Song Yibao wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, sat upright again, and then said in a milky voice, “When father was injured, grandmother accompanied mother back to the imperial capital first, and because mother was sick, she dragged her feet for a couple of days at Cuihua Mountain before moving. Just leave in too much of a hurry, did not take all of dad’s things. A couple of days ago Mother thought of it, and ordered another trip, before I saw this letter.”

“Speaking of which, when father was first injured, I didn’t even receive the news, so I didn’t visit.” Song YiXiao’s eyes flickered, and she asked in a soft voice, “I wonder which leg father injured at that time? Does it hurt badly?”

“I don’t know.” Song Yibao froze at his words and said, “I wanted to go see father too, but grandmother’s mom before her said that father was injured and it was not a good idea to disturb him. So I can only accompany Mother – and Third Sister and Fourth Brother!”

Song Yixiao carefully observe this sister’s expression, six years old child again shrewd also limited, according to her inference, Song Yibao does not seem to lie, so, if Song Yuan is not in Cui Hua Mountain death, and the Song family for some reason to hide the truth, then it is Lu’s mother and daughter were all deceived by Mrs. Pang old man?

Think about this is not impossible – Hengshan Wangfu female family members encountered boat capsize after the lake, their own because of the fear of pro father and stepmother on the mother, specially sent Jinxun to the Song family’s summer residence to probe the news, when Jinxun back to said, Lu’s very sick, even as if the days are numbered as well!

That kind of situation, so much so that they couldn’t even keep up with Emperor Xianjia’s brigade returning to the capital not to mention that even if they returned to the imperial residence later on, they would probably have to lie down for some days, wouldn’t they?

In other words, Lu should not have been able to personally visit Song Yuan who was “recuperating” – even if she struggled to get up out of concern for her husband, Old Lady Pang’s phrase “don’t overdo it and give it to Yuan Er! Even if she struggled to get up out of concern for her husband’s sake, Old Lady Pang’s words of “don’t overdo it and give the edge a bad breath” could easily stop her.

And although Song Yibao was in good health, he was also stopped by his grandmother’s people: does this not mean that after Song Yuan broke his leg on Cuihua Mountain, and moved back to the Imperial Song Mansion to recuperate from his injuries until he died of his injuries, Lu’s mother and daughter were not able to see him with their own eyes during this entire process?

Although Song Yixiao went to the condolences, Lu had said, is their own deliberately did not tell the Yan State Ducal Palace of Song Yuan injury, but Song Yixiao now think, this stepmother that will be able to get up soon, self-care is not enough, so that, should be just polite words.

“Cuihua Mountain … What exactly is the story of the matter?” Song Yixiao’s heart sank, “How could grandmother even hide it from my stepmother? Stepmother is no longer showing favor to me, she is ultimately father’s wife, and is on father’s side in any case! How could Grandma not know this? If she doesn’t tell her stepmother the truth, she won’t be able to use the Lu family’s power! Of course, grandmother can turn to Gu Xiang for help, the problem is … the problem is that Gu Xiang this half year is also no movement strike?”

Two days ago, when she had surmised that her biological father would most likely die at the hands of her biological mother, she had asked her husband about Gu Shao’s initiatives over the past half year in a sideways manner, and had found that there was no intention of targeting the Hengshan royal family or the Yan princely mansion.

Thinking about it, Gu Shao was even better to Song Yuan, in the end it was impossible to ruin the rest of his political career for the death of this son or nephew.

After all, how many years had he been waiting for this opportunity under the Yoho forest?

Now the new king only ascended to the throne, he has a lot to worry about, even if he knows the death of Song Yuan, may not be able to spare the effort!

For example, his own grandson Gu Tong language wife Lu Hairpin, that is not crazy also have half a year, visible Gu Shao invited Hengshan King to eat a tea and play chess, mention this matter?

“Could it be that grandmother is waiting for Minister Gu to vacate his post?” Song Yixiao thought this was impossible, “Lu Yicheng, as His Majesty’s subordinate in the Eastern Palace, is now the Minister of Justice, although he is at the same level as his previous position as the Crown Prince’s guest, but with his seniority, who would dare to underestimate him? According to the grandmother’s person, if you think that mother is the murderer of her son, I’m afraid that you can’t wait for a moment, and you only think that it would be good to kill mother one day earlier. Why would she not use the Lu family’s help?”

Speaking here, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the letterhead on the case, suddenly remembered – he was only pregnant with Jane Qingyue that would, stepmother Lu also sent something on behalf of Song Yuan.

It was a brocade box, containing a lot of money, deeds, but the most puzzling thing for Song Yixiao was the token that Jian Xubai said was related to the secret guards passed down from the Song family’s ancestors.

The dark guards who have been arching the Gangnam Song for how many dynasties, follow the wind.

She paled steeply!

“How much do you know about the Song family’s secret guards?” After Song Yibao finished passing on the message, she didn’t sit down for long before excusing herself, the reason being that Lu had instructed her that her niece, Jian Qingyue, was still young, so don’t bother her eldest sister too much – Song Yixiao stayed a few times but didn’t, so she had to have the kitchen load up some pastries and order Jinxun to send her back.

That night when Jian Xu Bai came back, only after entering the inner room, Song Yixiao followed him in and asked, “Is it powerful?”

“Speaking from the perspective of a guard alone, that’s certainly impressive.” Jian Xu Bai said as he changed into his regular clothes, “Otherwise how could he have arched over the Song family for so many years? But why are you asking this?”

“Do you think it’s possible if they wanted to sneak into the Hengshan King’s residence and assassinate my mother?” Song Yixiao pondered for a long time, but in the end, she still asked.

Jane Void White was distinctly stunned, and the hand tying her sash paused before continuing, saying, “This is impossible.”

He explained, “In that case, the royal family might not sleep either.”

And if the royal family can’t sleep, how can these secret guards, including the Song family, exist anymore?

Song Yixiao was silent for a long time before he said, “What if we don’t hesitate to burn the jade together?”

-According to the meaning of Jian Xubai’s words, the dark guards have a bottom line, lest cause suspicion from the top, originally wanted to defend the family’s weapon, but instead to the family to invite disaster.

But, Old Lady Pang is so old, maybe she is reckless in order to avenge her only son’s death?

Why else would she do anything to hide the truth from her daughter-in-law Lu?

After all, her son is dead, but Lu’s son and daughter are still alive!

Lu’s again sad Song Yuan’s death, but she may be willing to sacrifice themselves to avenge their husbands, if they want to take the three young children under their knees, normal mothers are not able to do such a thing.

If she knew that Mrs. Pang wanted to risk universal condemnation and risk the entire Song family to avenge Song Yuan’s hatred – how could Lu not stop her?

Song Yixiao’s heart gradually sank, but heard her husband murmured, “This I am not very clear, after all, I am not after the six valves, about the six valves of the secret guards, or from the third uncle there occasionally heard. You know, third uncle is aunt grandmother raised, aunt grandmother’s own son died early, depending on the third uncle as his own, but in accordance with Jinxiu Hall teaching the first son of the method of cultivation of him. So uncle knows a lot of valve reading inside, but I only heard a few words.”

When he said this, he was surprised and asked, “Could it be that the Song family is interested in Mother-in-Law?”

“My stepmother just sent my second sister to send a message to say that my grandmother is not quite right recently.” Song Yixiao thought, cover up, “My stepmother is worried that my grandmother has not been able to grieve, will hurt the body, so ask me if I can go back to see her, just you know, my grandmother has always disliked me, if you see me after the more angry, in turn, it is harmful to her. The problem is that I listened to my sister’s description, think my grandmother … still seems to have prejudice against my mother. My stepmother has always been gentle and tolerant, after my father went, the Song family secret guards if returned to her in charge, but also just! I’m afraid of falling into my grandmother’s hands, her old man in a fit of rage, will do unthinkable things.”

Jane Void White nodded in understanding and said, “Then we must hurry to remind Mother-in-Law?”

“But this is just my guess.” Song Yixiao bit her lip and said, “In case I guess wrong, won’t it instead provoke Mother’s resentment towards the Song family? Now that father is gone, my half-brothers and sisters are all still young, so if they incur mother’s dislike, it would be trouble.”

She didn’t know about the internal changes in the Song family, and still thought that Lu was definitely not Wei Mengying’s opponent, so she didn’t dare to stir up Wei Mengying’s grudge against the Song family before there was any solid evidence – this mother of hers hated people with a thunderous vengeance!

So after coaxing her husband with her words, the next day she excused herself to visit Yuan Xuexiu, who had only just arrived in the imperial capital, and quietly went to the Song Mansion to look for Lu, “Mother let her sister send a letter yesterday with a message to me, what exactly is the intention?”
